​

Why "Artifice & Grace"?

​

An Artificer is a class in Dungeons and Dragons, a fantasy tabletop roleplaying game. "Masters of invention, artificers use ingenuity and magic to unlock extraordinary capabilities in objects. They see magic as a complex system waiting to be decoded and then harnessed in their spells and inventions."  Emily is currently working through her very first campaign as a gnome warlock, but otherwise loves DnD media like "The Adventure Zone" and "Critical Role."

​

Grace is also Emily's given middle name. You may see her under the handle "graceisajinx" because she jokes that she was jinxed at birth to be accident-prone. But the name is also a badge of honor and a reminder to be kind to everyone, even yourself.
